x.py install fails with stage2/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/rust-lld not found #143646
Closed as duplicate
Description
I download https://static.rust-lang.org/dist/rustc-1.88.0-src.tar.xz , then execute ./configure --enable-optimize-llvm --enable-extended --llvm-root=/usr/local --enable-profiler --enable-llvm-link-shared --enable-sanitizers --disable-docs --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --enable-vendor && x.py build && x.py install. It fails with

The work-around from #143076 (comment) does work for me, except:
Instead I copied
ld.lld,ld64.lld,lld-link,wasm-ldto bin/gcc-ld. That is I have not hardlink-ed the files torust-lld(which I do not understand what means).Kobzol commentedon Jul 8, 2025
These files are normally just links that link to the
rust-lldbinary. Thanks for the report! It's pretty much the same as #143076, so closing as a duplicate. You can continue the discussion there if you want!
